Speaking about brazen robbery: Spot cotton declined 30 points, or $1.66 a bale, in New York on Mon iy-or about twenty-one and a half million dollars on a crop of 13,000, 000 bales. What was the reason given? "Because the equinoctial storm .did not do much damage!" That comes pretty near being the limit of audacity. According to the logic of this ex euse, for the two weeks preceding the autumnal equinox, the price of cot ton should have advanced, in antici pation of the dreaded storm. But in stead of advancing, the speoulators steadily and consistently depressed cotton during that period. They fore ed down the market price about $6.50 a bale. The day before the equinox, when storm signals were displayed along the gulf coast, what happened in New York? By every rule of argument and consistency cotton should have advanced; but it went down five points. And on Monday, when .the storm passed without damag, the depression was 30 points more. That is a fair sample of the meth od of dealings in New York. There was as much need for raw cotton on Monday as on Saturday. All that there is will not be sufficient to meet the world's demands. The mills throughout the world are running on full time; there is an assured market for every yard of cloth that is woven. Yet, because much cotton was not destroyed, the speculators use that as a pretext to hammer the price still lower. That method is little better than highway robbery; the only difference is that the farmers have not got to stand and deliver. If all of them Will K have the nerve to quietly sit and wait baek shout $8 a bale. But to accomplish that great result the grovwers must stand together, from one end of the eetton belt to the other. And merchants and bankers, and business men generally, should dissuade the small farmer -from turning loose his little crop; and, if possible, help him to hold it for a short while. Every bale market ed now weakens the so'uth. This is the crucial test; the next few weeks will determine ;w'hether the gambler or the grower shall win.-The State. The a.boye is the line taken by The Herald and News some ten days a,o and we t'ake pleasure in copying it in this connection and in endorsing the position of the State. As we stat1ed in a former issue of .The Herald and News, we are glad to see the papers like the Columbia State and the Atlanta Journal taking the position which is taken in thel above in regard to the fight which is now on between the cotton grower and the money center. As we see it, there is absolutely no reason for the decline in the price of cotton ex ecept that it is an effort of the gamblers in the great staple product of the southern farmer to whip him in 'The fight, which he has been making' through the two organizations of the farmers for a living price for his~ staple crop. We would be glad to see not a bale of cotton put on the market~ for twen ty days, and we believe that the State is correct when it says that if this - were done, "cotton would climb back $8 a bale.'' In order to accom plish this. however, it is absolutely necessary that .'The farmers should st-and togethe. They have the key to the situation, but it requires united effort. We are very anxious that.they .should win in this fight. The state colleges are full. That is. wrell, but thiere is nothing remark able about it. If there were free gro eery stores or free dry goods stores open they would be full also. The state .uannot possibly accommodate everybody who wants a good thing. Newberry Observer. Yet many people seem to think that there is something remarkable about it, are troubled about so many being turned away and demand that ac commodation be. made for all which would mean drawing away the pat ronage of other colleges. It is a * great mistake to suppose that the applicants who are turned away are denied an education. They simply go! K to other colleges, where they get as! satisfaction of knowing that nobody was taxed to pay for it.-Chester Lantern. The tuition amounts to a very small matter in any of our colleges. In view of the very small number of those who attend our state schools being able to pay the tuition we have about come to the conclusion that it would be best to abolish tuition char ges and at the same time abolish all scholarships. Say to the young man who desired to attend the state school, here it is, we furnish you the school and the tuition but you must do the rest. These free scholarships and this farce at charging tuition, both, are resulting in too many parents certi fying to what is not true in order to save a few dollars. And what about the influence on the boy who knows that his parent has saved the small amount of tuition by false statement. The same is true to large extent at Winthrop. The free tuition in the state col leges has no effect on the denomina tional schools. We once thought it did but when Winthrop and Clemson were established the demoninational and private colleges had more pupils than before. There is an awakening for higher education but it should not be given free. Well, well, the engagement of Zaea McGhee-the original and only Zach -hA4 been announced. There is yet hope for Ed. Normnent and Ed. De Camp.-- EidgefieLl Advertiser. The above is respectfully and gent ly referred to Mrs. DeCamp. In the death of Mx. D. A. Smith, of the Keowee Courier, the press of this state has lost one of its oldest and most highly honored members. In his early life he was a printer on the Press and. Banner, along with Mr. Hugh Wilson, the veteran editor of that paper. According to the Press and Banner Mr. Wilson is now the only printer, who is living, who was connected with the Press and Banner at the time Mr. Smith was. Mr. Smith, in addition to his con nection with the newspaper business, had been honored by the people of his county in the election of probate judge, and held thiat position at the time of his death. The Herald and News is very much gratified that the movement lookirig to the establishment of a hospital in Newberry is meeting with such hiearty' response from the people. It ought to be a very easy matter for the committee with the assistance and co-operation of the twenty-nine physicians in this county to raise the necessary amount for the erection of the hospital. According to the notice of the committee published in another part of this paper a subscription F has been furnished to each physician, and if he. will take the interest in it, which he ought, it will take but; very little stock from each one to raise the necessary amount. This is a very important movement and the people of Newberry county annot afford to let it fail, and the time to do the work is now. SOUTHERN IS NOT RETALIATING Washington, September 24.--Presi ent Finley, of the Southern Railway, today issued a statement as to the reasons for the recent stoppage of onstruction work and reductions in hop forces, in which he said: "In some quarters it has been rep esented that work has been stopped nd forces reduced as a measure of etaliation against adverse state leg slation. In no case has this been rue\ This company has not beena governed, in any case, by any but ound business considerations; such s must govern a railway as well as very business enterprise. Current railway income is insufficient to pro ide funds for improvements and bet erments. These can only be provid d for now, as in .t'he past, by ob aining new capital. Present financial onditions and the present attitude f investors toward railroad securi ies are such that it is~ imposible for he moment to sell railroad securi ies on a basis that any business con sernn, managed in accordance wiith ound business principles, would be ustified in accepting. It has, there fore, been necessary to postpone many mportant projects for improvement. nly those will be pushed to com letion at this time 'on which work as progressed so far that the pub ic and the railway can receive the enefit of their completion at an ear y date. Other projects have not hoen thandoned, but will be carried out ust as soon as conditions are such hat the necessary capital can be se :ured." MILLINERY OPENINGS. The Several Establishments Vie With One Another in Generous Rival ry-Many Pretty Crfations. The usual opening, which is held semi-annually by the several millinery establishments in Newberry, took place yesterday. Everything seemed to conspire to make it one of the most delightful openings in the his. tory of these opening days in New berry. During the night of Wednes day the weather turned cooler and yesterday morning a good, fresh northeast wind was blowing, and everything had the appearane4 of fall, which, of course, made the. la dies more interested in lo.oking at the different styles and patterns of fall and winte hats than they would have been if the hot weather of the past several days had continued. The several establishments in Newberry all vied with one another in making the most elaborate and beautiful dis play. This reporter of course would not undertake to make comparisons. They are always odious and would be especially so if he undertook to com pare the display of one establishment' with that of another. Suffice it to say that they all were uu to date and the several ladies in charge were busy showing their latest creations in millinery apparel and the seeker and purchaser of a fall hat may easily be satisfied at any one of these estab lishments.
